“The challenge in this transaction, which was a cash-out refinance, was getting a lender to recognize the significant value that was created by a sponsor who had been working the asset over the last seven years of ownership,” Betesh explained in a prepared statement.

“We worked closely with our territory sales team members, who have a very good pulse and an up-to-date database on rental rates and market cap rates, to get the lender comfortable with today’s market value.”
